Ok well it all started one day when i decided a block of land looked good. Went up to Mernda/Doreen and looked at several estates and many of which i didn't even know existed. I found Eminenece estate which i really liked and went back to my partner and suggested we look well all went well and we bough a block in Eminence estate in Doreen. Signed our contracts on the 2nd of July 2008 and the land finally settled on the 11th December 2008.
Now we have been looking at house plans and are stuck between Porter Davis - Heywood, Henley Verve - Eve and Watersun Homes - Scarborough.
We are hoping to start building late this year. I just can't wait to be in our own place. Since buying the land we have come across a few issues. Initially the land was advertised as 607m2 but when looking through contracts a bit deeper its o nly 589m2 and 3 other blocks around us had changed aswell. The developer agreed to give us a $2000 rebate at settlement. Since settlement we have recieve an amended rates notice which is all good and well but we paid the developer $120 at settlement for the rates they had supposedly paid. Now the council are telling me I must pay them that because the developer hasn't paid them. I have spoken to my conveyancer who has been fantastic and they have documentation that they rates were paid by the developer and we should only have to pay more because its now a block. So I am yet to go back to the council and see what they have to say now!
Sorry for the essay hopefully cant pick a house and start filling you in on that.
Cheers Jacinta
